This single-phase, $8.5 million project included the renovation of the existing Paul Green Theatre, as well as the creation of a new 47,000-square-foot facility located adjacent to the existing theatre.

Due to space constraints, the Department of Dramatic Art had been spread throughout six different buildings on campus. This lack of consolidation limited interaction between students, faculty and staff members, and restricted undergraduate student exposure to the professional theatre. The goal of the project was to incorporate the drama department and the Playmakers into one shared facility.

The new center houses the Department of Dramatic Art, including classrooms, a department library, and faculty and administrative offices.
